Jane laughed, a rare enough sound, but lost in the general noise of the pool house. "I know I've changed, but no way could I do that. I think, maybe I'll just settle for occasionally defending myself verbally? I er, was trying to do that, but it obviously wasn't working, and, Mr Michaels was so nice to invite me."

Jane shook her head, "I like choosing my own fruit and veg now though, I don't think I would go back to hiding in my apartment all the time like that again. I don't think it would be good for me."
